It depends on the material you want to cut. I've used cutting boards (I don't know if this phrase is used in English...In Germany its called Schneidebrett) from IKEA. They are called "Legitim". It feels like cutting soap. Every available saw will do it.

Too bad those gloves will fail miserably in the exact same way. Loaded gloves blow. Live and learn.

if you cut off the cuff and take out the foam wrist thing they arnt half bad.... you also need to replace the pucks... not at all worth the money but if they are free or you win them just use them or give them away

I like the second pair with the Velcro strap and gel fingers look like they would make a nice glove and stay on as far as the others i used an old pair of leather work gloves and haven’t had any problems so I don’t think the Kevlar is necessary.

Edit: My next mission is to make some slide gloves out of some Halloween themed glove like a wolf paw or something. But everything I’ve found is made of flimsy fabric :/. We’ll see if I get around to it before the end of October.

Second pair'll work better. Material used isn't really gonna factor into the equation much (although, knuckle protection is always a plus). Thing you really want to worry about is having them come off your hands, in this case, prevented by the velcro straps. Plus, with some industrial strength velcro, and free corian, the gloves shouldnt be more than $20.

Apparently, all you have to do is go to Home Depot (or Lowes I guess) and tell them you're remodeling your kitchen. Then ask for free samples of Corian.

yup, thats all there is to it. Find the kitchen/interior section, tell 'em your mom heard you were coming down to Home Depot, that you're remodeling your kitchen soon and she wanted to pick out some samples. If you get a good guy, he'll probably let you take as many as you need - just make sure they're all different colors! if not, you see where its kept. After he gives you a few, come back and complete the set!
